A gas-turbine power plant operates on a simple brayton


A gas-turbine power plant operates on a simple Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The air enters the turbine at 120 psia and 2000 R and leaves at 15 psia and 1200 R. Heat is rejected to the surroundings at a rate of 6400 Btu/s, and air flows through the cycle at a rate of 40 lbm/s. Assuming the turbine to be isentropic and the compressor to have an isentropic efficiency of 80%, determine the net power output of the plant. Account for the variation of specific heats with temperature.
